I know what it's like to have someone believe in you when no one else will.
OMG. Did I actually say that out loud? How will he react? OMG.
I'm nervous. Why am I nervous? It used to be so easy to be around him, to be alone with him. That was before---no, don't go there.
I look at him and he stares straight back. He always has this way of making me feel like I'm the only person in the world. Despite the fact that there is a rager outside my bedroom, right now, it's just the two of us.
Did he just move or am I imagining it? He's moving in. So am I. We are so close. I can smell his familiar scent, the scent I used to know by heart. What is made of? Just one more inch and my lips will be tangled in his.
Scream.
